We Build Together
North Richmond Eco Village (NREV)
We are building out plans for a North Richmond Eco Village. The project concept was developed by Princess Robinson and Fonze Leon, Urban Tilth fellows in our Building Power Fellowship. The project seeks to revitalize vacant public housing land to create in-fill density for current residents and stewards of North Richmond. These will be high quality tiny homes built on movable foundations. They will be low cost rentals with rent-to-own options. The land will be maintained permanently affordable in the community land trust through a 99 year ground lease restriction. The project will combine the best practices of sustainable design and supportive housing principles by including programming to support village residents in financial literacy, education, and the growth of collective land stewardship.
